Hardcover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Everyman's Pocket Classics, First published in Everyman's Library, 2009, 1st printing. 256pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "These eighteen classic stories from across John Updike's career form a luminous chronicle of the life and times of one marriage in all its rich emotional complexity. [] In 1956, Updike published a story, 'Snowing in Greenwich Village,' about a young couple, Joan and Richard Maple, at the beginning of their marriage. Over the next two decades, he returned to these characters again and again, tracing their years together raising children, finding and losing moments of romantic rapport, and facing the heartbreak of infidelity and estrangement. Now these stories appear in a single volume in hardcover for the first time, with the addition of a later story, 'Grandparenting,' which returns us to the Maples long after their wrenching divorce. Together, THE MAPLES STORIES offers a nuanced portrait of a flawed marriage between two sympathetic, well-intentioned practitioners of twentieth-century family life." [jacket copy] Too Far to Go, the earlier Maples story collection, was published as a Fawcett paperback in 1979. "Though the Maples stories trace the decline and fall of a marriage," writes the author in his Foreword, "they also illumine a history in many ways happy, of growing children and a million mundane moments shared. That a marriage ends is less than ideal; but all things end under heaven, and if temporality is held to be invalidating, then nothing real succeeds. The moral of these stories is that all blessings are mixed. Also, that people are incorrigibly themselves. The musical pattern, the advance and retreat, of the Maples' duet is repeated over and over, ever more harshly transposed. . . Yet they talk, more easily than any other characters the author has acted as agent for. A tribe segregated in a valley develops an accent, then a dialect, and then a language all its own; so does a couple. Let this collection preserve one particular dead tongue, no easier to parse than Latin." Pristine and handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, ribbon-tongue yellow as the cloth boards, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket, a typically beautiful Knopf production.…
